@Soothfast saidYes russia is an exporter (a seller) of oil. Where a cool USA president will excel is to manipulate.....such as, generally speaking, make our oil price so low that India will stop buying from Russia and start buying from Trump/USA. Russia will have a problem, that Trump will say "Russia, get out of Ukraine and we will get things back to the way that you want it".
I'm not sure how I can be plainer. You said:I'm hearing he [Trump] will use OPEC to starve out Putin who will have no recourse but to stop the Ukraine nightmare. No oil for Putin.
Well, Russia is an oil exporter. You can't cut off oil going into an oil exporter, because there is none. Oil goes out of an oil exporting country.
How can you be this stupid and still breathe?
Just generalizing, I figure he can do something along these lines to affect the Russian economy.
@AverageJoe1 saidSo, you, Soothfast, eschew the concept of a leader, having leadership. Shav would LOVE your society,. 'Lord of The Flies". Why have a leader, everyone just think for themselves???
I'm thinking that it has to be Bernie, who is still carrying your flag. You tell us, who do y'all want to look up to, to do something. Who it is it? We have no idea. When we had a president (Biden) we were looking up to Trump for 4 years. Who will y'all look up to in the same vein?
I'll tell you why. It all boils down to my adage, 'Some People Work Harder Than Others'. So, in your world, no leadership, for keeping the ship afloat and running smoothly. People that are of liberal 'think-for-themselves' bent will start taking stuff away from other people, and we will all revert to animals.
Libs.
@Cliff-Mashburn Are you dreaming? Without immigrants, a lot of our produce would not get to market. Even the big farm conglomerates want migrants. If you're so concerned with immigrants taking jobs from native born people, then you should get the Republinazis to pass a law requiring ALL businesses to check legal immigration status. Now only companies with over 100 employees have to. It's talking out both sides of your mouth.
@AverageJoe1 saidAnd some people are not disabled. And some do not have inherited wealth. And lots of other reasons. Is it so hard for you to believe that there are myriad reasons for why people do what they do?

@AverageJoe1 saidSure. Just like he did in his last term. (Oops, we seem to be generating more oil production now than when the Fuehrer left office last time. Must be fake statistics.)

@AverageJoe1 saidSince you mention socialism, I'm assuming you are anti-police, fire, defense. Who's going to protect you?
This is one of the most elementary posts I have ever seen. You may as well say, why does Wednesday come after Tuesday?
I have a question.....why do you people fret over the money of other people? Not meaning to get personal, maybe you can answer for someone else, tell us it what THEY have a problem with. Yeah, that's it. Go find out why they are so into the busness ...[text shortened]... and say we should get that money from the rich, you need not write back,,,,,it is just so much air.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidItd be a different story if this occurred over an extended period of time where illegal workers could be replaced. But these are rural areas. You can't find 55,000 replacement orange grove harvesters overnight. The entire crop will be wasted.
I see this as a positive thing. It will force the farm owners to stop picking up people standing in front of Home Depot or wherever and actually hire regular employees at a decent wage.
Trump gonna bail them out with federal dollars like he did last time?

They always do.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidLast trump trade war the farmers were bailed out, $40 billion cash, soooo... I guess that's one way of figuring it out. Right?

@Mott-The-Hoople saidGDP real growth was 4.2% in the 1950s, the third best decade since 1900.
There were three recessions under Eisenhower
In contrast, for the past quarter century, which has witnessed ridiculously low taxes for the wealthy and corporations, real GDP growth has been below average.

Though of tangential relevance, it's also interesting to note this:
[T]he US economy was in recession for 49 quarters from 1949-2013; 8 of these quarters were under Democratic US Presidents and 41 of these quarters were under Republican US Presidents.

@Soothfast saidEmpty store shelves is warmed over scarmongering from covid.
Ruh-roh! There are going to be empty store shelves and skyrocketing grocery prices soon, and much faster than I had guessed a couple months ago.
Just a small sample of the enormous crisis that is looming for the Nazi vermin infesting Washington DC, and for a certain orange convicted felon in particular:

As for skyrocketing grocery prices, I do remember that happening once not too long ago.
Hint: It wasn't during a Trump administration.
